Does anyone have experience searching/acquiring in California?

I’m leaning toward a geographically-focused self-funded search in Southern California, but I've heard concerns about the state's regulatory environment, wages, taxes, etc.
Would love to hear some specific experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly!

Hi Ethan. California in general has a lot of activity when it come to M&A.

I was recently connected with ^Searchfunder member‌ who runs a peer group with searchers in SoCal. Wanted to share as it may be helpful for you to connect with other searcher. Possibly you can join and network.
